WADESBORO — The Anson County Health Department continued with accepting vaccination appointments after catching up on a backlog of residents waiting for the Moderna shot. On Jan. 28, the health department announced a temporary hold on residents scheduling appointments to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. There was about 1,200 residents on a wait-list, but the health department was only receiving 100 first doses of the shot. Atrium Health Anson aided the health department on catching up with appointments. The hospital transferred 300 first doses to the health department last week and an additional 300 this week, according to Health Director Fred Thompson. The assistance from Atrium Health allowed the health department to start accepting new registration forms for those in Groups 1 and 2.
